There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

The status is NOT quo.

Here you go: Anne Rice: looney or egotist?

Is it wrong that my response to that whole thing was BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ?

Really, Anne. Is this really the best way to inflame engage your readers?

ION, I couldn't even buy the latest Anita Blake. I love eroticism in horror, but what everyone else said. When the corpse is preferable to the sex, you have a problem.

If I only had a brain...

I finished it last night. I admit, I gave about three minutes to each chapter.

There is damned little non-sexual content. And it's not great porn, either. Seriously. This isn't even a fun wallow. It is a waste of money, paper and time.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I have to buy the LKH anyway. I must know.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Don't buy the new LKH. Buy the new Terry Pratchett instead.

Buy it from Betsy at a discount. You both win.

Always Anti-fascist!

wrod.ETA: Somebody tell me what's on the Entertainment film in Infinite Jest so I can appease my Bayliss nature and still go on with my life without flagellating over this 1000 pages again? Please? There's chocolate in it.

"what's left when you take biology and sociology out of the picture?" "An autistic hermaphodite." -Allyson

I bought the LKH for my beloved wife, and the Terry Pratchett for both of us. She seems to be reading for the porn, and says she was disappointed that there wasn't more porn in the last Merry Gentry book. I've tried to explain about how there's actual porn out there that is much cheaper than first run hard cover books, and is better written to boot, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

So, I read Pratchett and bragged about how good it was and told she couldn't read it until she finishes the Anita thing. So there.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Oh, so how *was* the Pratchett? I was going to try to restrain myself until the paperback came out, but should I just give in and buy the hardcover like I did for the last two?

So far I'm eeeh. We'll see if it grows on me, but I haven't laughed out loud yet.
